The difference between legacy social media and here is that most people here are anonymous.
I say all sorts of shit on here that while I believe it is protected 1A, I would never say it anywhere else online that had my name attached to it for fear of my families safety and my ability to earn a living. OPSEC is important. As long as we continue to stay anonymous we should be able to continue our frank but legal discussions, at least until the fascists outlaw our wrong think.
If someone posts their guns on here and also doxes themselves I agree that is foolish.
This. Our Government is tapped into every single major ISP, along with thousands of colocations/datacenters and "Internet Backbones" all across the world... including decrypting traffic. If you and every single one of your devices is not on an off-shore VPN that is entirely out of US Government reach and not keeping any logs whatsoever... you are being tracked. They've essentially made it impossible to have privacy unless you're willing to go to extreme measures which can be a headache, or simply unplug everything.

We're not totally anon. Our ISPs are tracking (I don't bother with VPN) and if you're posting from a phone using the carrier's network.... LOL

I just assume everything we do online is monitored. But we still got our thoughts... For now.
